We spent 3 nights at Isabella. The view and the location is wonderful. We saw Isabella very little but she was helpful. I recommend the place to everybody.

Gabriella2013-10-09T00:00:00Z

The most authentic place I've ever stayed at in Italy. The views are fantastic! So is the soundtrack to wake up to each morning! Great host family! Perfect location to explore Toscana. The 5 nights were far from enough! Will stay here again!

Andrey2014-05-12T00:00:00Z

everything went superbly past. the villa is very beautiful, very charming with views of the Tuscan countryside ... The meal in the tower was delicious, the beautiful view! Isabella has always been available, as well as his son or his father. the doc about the area is available and do not forget to go see the work of Pontormo in the village church!

Natacha2015-09-14T00:00:00Z

Isabella was a very kind host. She graciously went out of her way to pick me up when I got off at the wrong bus stop. Her house is stunning, just like something out of Jane Austen. The village she lives in is charming and the views of the surrounding farmlands took my breath away. I would definitely recommend staying with Isabella and can't wait until I get a chance to come back!

Abbie2014-08-03T00:00:00Z

I had a great stay at Isabella's villa. She is a fantastic and generous hostess. It was so enjoyable sitting and talking to her other guests who were also enjoying their stay. I would recommend a stay here if you are looking for a friendly authentic visit to the Florence area.

Andrea & Yiannis

Amazing place! So homely, very helpful- will be back to stay again next year!

Alexandru2013-10-25T00:00:00Z

Andrea and her son welcomed us. The apartment is clean and we find all you need to accommodate. Andrea took the time to show us the apartment and explained how to get around the area. She or her son were always available to us. We were at the end of July and the temperature was very hot, so the apartment was not as fresh as what other people decry. We should add that a fan is for there to do less hot. Certain night it was difficult to sleep. Seano is a small town close to several small villages of Tuscany. We liked the village of Carmignano and its restaurant there Barco Reale.

Jean-Nil2015-08-02T00:00:00Z

Andreas place is perfectly located! We were traveling to different places in Tuscany and it is near everything. The house is clean comfortable and nice! Even though we were out most of the time, andrea helped us with useful information, tips, address and maps. She was really nice. Seano is charming! A perfect election that we highly recommended. In my opinion, You need a car to reach the bus stop and to move inside the town.

Natasha2015-10-09T00:00:00Z

Arriving at Andrea is like coming home but with flowers and cookies because it's tea time ... A happiness! The apartment is identical to photos, spacious, clean, modern, convenient. It is in the countryside Tuscany (quiet! And you will find it valuable when coming back to Florence!). It even has a wonderful terrace where you appreciate the day to begin with coffee and finish with a drink after long walks visits! Andrea is a very caring hostess, her directions to Florence or if only supermarket or post office are precious! We had a wonderful week stay home! And we thank for his welcome 1000 times!

Marie2015-05-10T00:00:00Z

Andrea is a good host. Her place looks better than in the picture. Nice big studio, very simple, functional and neat. I like the location which is not far from the small city of Prato but in the hill of Tuscany where you will enjoy the typical landscape and silence without being decentralized too much. Nice safe parking just in front the house. Wifi should be improved as it is not powerful and steady enough.

MARCO2015-12-19T00:00:00Z

Seano is a good starting point to explore from there the small, picturesque places in the area as well as the highlights of Florence, Pistoia, Lucca, Pisa and in the somewhat wider area Pienza and Siena. Andrea is a very lovable host and was very eager to make our stay as pleasant as possible. They spoiled us with little touches and gave advice on local events and attractions that are not to be found in the guide. The property is located in a very quiet and idyllic setting, surrounded by rolling hills that offer a great view of the plain of Florence. The apartment has been lovingly and comfortably furnished and offers everything you need for a holiday.

Georg2015-07-26T00:00:00Z

Andrea and her son were super nice. Very hospitable. We came in on New Years and everything was closed so they gave us food to make dinner with. They also made bread, which they shared with us for breakfast the next morning. They always gave us a ride to the bus stop so we could got Florence. The apartment is more suitable for those who have a car. We ended up renting a car the second day we were there. It is possible to use public transportation though as we did for a couple of days. Wonderful stay!

Our experience with Francesco e Anja was amazing! They were very attentive to all our questions. Everything worked perfectly! The place was beautiful and our daughter loved eating cherries in the garden. And we loved the wines they gave us!!! His parents live close to home , and they are very friendly. Seano is very close to Florence . We use this place as a base for exploring the Tuscany. Everything was perfect!

Luciana Kimi2016-05-23T00:00:00Z

The stay was very nice. Francesco was away, so we attended their parents (who live next door) and they were lovely. The house was immaculate, with small details that make the difference. We felt very comfortable. The only thing is that the garden you see in the pictures is not directly at the house, but it is across a small street, but it is to use one. Overall, highly recommended.

Javier2015-07-29T00:00:00Z

We have spent 8 lovely days at Francesco´s & Anja´s house. Unfortunately we didn´t get to meet them, since they were abroad. But we have written with them a lot, without any problems. They have been very quick to reply and extremely serviceminded! However we´re were kindly welcomed by Francesco´s fantastic parents - who took SO good care of us. It felt like visiting family. The house and garden were clean, tidy and very cosy. We only have good things to comment, and would love to visit again!

We had a wonderful week at Elena's place. It's a very nice place to enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Tuscany. The house has everything you need. Nice beds and a good shower, a kitchen with oven and a washing machine. We loved the very big garden with the olive trees and on top of that the swimming pool with a great view on the hills. Elena (and her husband) are very friendly people. They live next to the appartment but keep themselves on the background but are there for you when you need anything. We experienced this as very pleasant. We were welcomed with a bottle of wine and selfmade marmelade (and nutella), a nice way to feel at home. Bosco (one of the dogs) kept us company when we were at the house. A very nice and kind dog who likes to be hugged and cuddled, we liked him very much (and miss him now we are at home again). By car it's only a few minutes to the village where you can find everything you need (a caffe, restaurants, a bakery, ice creams). In the neighbourhood you find places like Vinci, Prato, Pistoia and of course Florence which are very nice to visit. We can't find anything to complain. I certainly can recommend this place. We would like to come back someday!

What an amazing place! Isabella and her family are lovely people and fantastic hosts. The villa is in a great location with absolutely stunning views over the Tuscan hills. We would happily stay here again - hopefully next time for much longer!

This was a beautiful place with beautiful views! Isabella and her father were so kind. One of them came to check on everyone in the B & B at least once a day and were available to answer any questions. I came in October which is a cold month in Tuscany. The B & B does not have heat, so I was cold often. If you are going out to explore most of your day, you should be fine. Other than the heat, this was a great place and the small town of Carmignano is very charming.

Rachel2015-10-20T00:00:00Z

Our stay at Isabella's place was the highlight of our Italian trip. The surroundings are picturesque and her villa is charming, grand, and cozy. She was very kind and went out of her way to help us, and the meal she prepared for us was amazing. Isabella gets our warmest recommendations, hopefully we'll meet again :)

Nam2016-05-28T00:00:00Z

The place is a little out of the way, 40 minutes by bus from Florence. The small town is beautiful, and it is a great location if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle. The family is very welcoming, and will pick you up from the bus stop. Definitely ask Isabelle to organize a wine tasting for you - €12 for an amazing 2 hours! As far as the villa - it is very rustically beautiful. Be prepared to share a bathroom, and there's no AC, but it doesn't really need it. They leave cold breakfast options out for you every morning too!

Elizabeth2015-07-08T00:00:00Z

I had a great time in this lovely villa, however, I had one too many occasions where I lost my way too and from Firenze. If you want this place and are planning to travel to Firenze, I recommend finding a place closer to the city. The bus system as well as the availability of trains were really inconvenient for me to travel. Isabella was my hero- the 2 times i got lost, she was more than willing to pick me up from wherever I was. I am so grateful to have met such a lovely lady. Her and her family were incredibly welcoming. I highly recommend if you are looking for a place in a small town and you want to get away from the city. Though it was difficult to get to other bigger cities, it is not impossible!

Jenny2015-05-17T00:00:00Z

Host – Isabella and her family are a beautiful unit. Such a wonderful family. My only regret is that I didn’t stay longer. You have to try her home cooked dinner. Its one of the best meals I’ve ever had, and I am spoilt with Dubai restaurants and a chef brother so that’s saying something. The quality and quantity was immensely satisfying Room and facility for cost paid– Unbelievable! I can’t believe the price and the experience I got for it. 200% worth the value and some. Pack bug repellent for the mosquito’s. Not needed in rooms as there are very good bed nets, however outside is shared with mossies. TRANSPORT ACCESSIBILITY – If you plan ahead and prepare what you want to do, then you’ll find transport and access to transport very easy as its more about the timing. Isabella and her family are always offering a lift to the bus stations too so its an additional bonus. Its about an hr trip from Carmignano to Firenze but the hr trip is very worth the stay and ambiance of this small community. A taxi to Prato costs 35-40 E Supermarket – Not in walking distance but there is a bus that goes to Poggio a caiano which is 15min away and has PAM supermercato

Damelza2015-06-23T00:00:00Z

Oh my, this house and it's grounds! It exceeded all my expectations and left me speechless. This property is a treasure trove of beautiful little spots to relax, work, read, write, gaze... I cannot recommend this place highly enough. The property is at the top of a hill, only a couple of minutes from the bell tower at the top with breathtaking views of the valleys below. On clear days, you can see Florence and other towns below. Isabella and her parents (Luciano and Helena) are sweethearts. I was traveling alone and they truly made me feel like family. They're genuinely warm and welcoming folks. I'm definitely going back again, next time with my family!

Swapnaa2016-06-20T00:00:00Z

Although the weather was not good on the first day, I felt super welcome. Isabella and her family were very attentive to me, making me feel at home. The house is very well located with a beautiful view of Tuscan fields and villages.

A little sweet cat may appear and ask for a hug. Thank you Helena for this stay, we loved it so much. Tuscany is so beautiful. A safe bet !

Renatha2015-09-06T00:00:00Z

Very nice welcome from Elena who gave us a lot of information to pass a very good stay in Tuscany. Spacious, consistent with the description, and well located for visiting Florence, Pisa, Siena and di Chianti. House certainly among olive trees but the view and pool are nice.

nathalie2015-07-26T00:00:00Z

We were greeted warmly and with nice touches like wine, homemade jams and fresh farm eggs. The photos correspond to reality. The apartment is well equipped; the large garden with the shade of olive trees is a dream! The pool is checked and cleaned. In addition to the chairs at the pool, we also had two chairs with cushions available. Even for a barbecue was provided. Perfect! Elena and her family are extremely friendly and helpful. The 2 dogs and cat are very trusting and happy about pats. We enjoyed it all around like good! We can recommend the best accommodation.

Beate2016-09-11T00:00:00Z

Julia2017-05-03T00:00:00Z

Beautiful setting, very quiet in a small village well located to enjoy Florence and its surroundings. A great welcome from Elena and her family who spoiled us with some presents. The apartment is large and fully equipped. Recommend without reservations.

In the neighborhood you will have opportunity to visit the famous painting of Pontormo, "La Visitazione".

Gabriele and his wife have been absolutely lovely, friendly and charming.After a long trip we were greeted with hospitality and a bottle of wine. Their home is a beautiful Tuscan villa, cozy, bright, and lovely. It is situated in a wonderful place, with a espectacular view, near a wonderful village Thank Gabriele and his family that has given us the opportunity to live in a wonderful house a perfect Italian holidays.

Nuria2015-07-25T00:00:00Z

Our family absolutely loved Gabriele's beautiful villa! The views are just spectacular! The villa is so charming and comfortable (we ended up skipping some of the towns we had planned to visit in favor of staying at the villa and soaking up the views). My husband and I had a wonderful day just walking around the little roads in the neighborhood. It's surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. Gabriele and his son were very kind and we enjoyed meeting them. We hated to leave and would love to come back!

Jessica2016-10-20T00:00:00Z

We spent 2 unforgettable weeks in this beautiful and comfortable place. Gabriele and his wife were very friendly and helpful during the whole time, we could rely on them. We got what we expected: peace, harmony, lots of experiences, tastes, smells, etc. The house is very comfortable, you'll have everithyng you need and it's far from the noise but not too far from great places in Tuscany. So we recommend this house strongly for those, who want to spend couple of days or weeks out of the usual daily life. Thank you again Gabriele for the experience!

Károly2015-08-09T00:00:00Z

We spent 10 days in this lovely house and can highly recommend it. Gabriele and his family are very kind and assisted us in every possible way. The house is beautiful and very comfortable. Sitting on the veranda and enjoying the marvelous view was an amazing experience. The Carmignano village (with its great restaurants) is within walking distance. Many thanks to Gabriele and his family for the great experience!

Yordan2016-07-13T00:00:00Z

The last kilometers of the journey is a little bumpy, but it will be rewarded with a beautiful house in a quiet location with a beautiful view.

Petra2016-08-07T00:00:00Z

We had a great time at this spacious and authentic (holiday) house. The neighborhood was quiet, there is a beautiful panoramic view and there are wineries in close distance. Everything in the house was as described on Airbnb and appliances functioned properly.

Thomas2015-10-12T00:00:00Z

We really enjoyed our 1-week stay at Gabriele's place. The house is very spacious, clean, and is well-equipped (particularly the kitchen). It is located in a charming village, but a car really is a must if you want to explore the region. Gabriele and his wife took good care of us during the stay. Highly recommend.

The property is quite interesting in terms of its history and feel. Isabella is kind, polite and informative. The location though is quite remote and quite a distance from Florence. Also, the breakfast was not up to the mark and quite disappointing as per the what we had read in earlier reviews. We could feel a bit of commercialisation. There is no fan so summers could get really stuffy.

Karan & Tanya2015-08-11T00:00:00Z

a place that takes your breathe away,views from the castle on top of the town.nice hosts,this is real tuscany!

Giuseppe2015-04-25T00:00:00Z

La Rocca was a lovely place to stay, the bedroom was big and spacious and looked just like the pictures. It was beautifully situated and Isabella organized lifts and a private wine tasting experience for us which was incredible! Isabella was a gracious hostess. Our room was very hot in the peak of summer & sometimes the wifi connection was weak for hours at a time. It is quiet and secluded which is great for resting, but getting to the main Italian cities can be tiring with transport.

Gabrielle2015-07-08T00:00:00Z

The photos and description are accurate, it's a lovely villa from the 1500's with incredible views. There are several walks you can take in the country or to Carmignano (down the hill). Isabella and her family are very friendly and helpful, especially when it comes to getting a ride to the bus or train station. I would recommend staying here to everyone!

john2016-07-25T00:00:00Z

Just wonderful, we were very well received by his parents, the house is beautiful and the rooms with plenty of space, the environment of the place is fabulous, with views that are worthwhile. A very large and comfortable common area for dining, plus a very well served breakfast

Rachel2016-09-21T00:00:00Z

This villa is fantastic for getting away from it all. After a week in Florence, the silence was bliss. As an adult I had my first afternoon nap upon arrival because it's so quiet. The views are stunning and the family are all absolutely lovely, really accommodating and really helpful. Unfortunately I work as I go so while the wifi is good for casual use, it couldn't keep up for work purposes though I know that Isabella is looking at fixing this as I type so just ask. The main room doesn't look much like the photos so as long as you're prepared for a quiet, calm, relaxing time then you'll have a perfect stay.

Caroline2016-08-07T00:00:00Z

We had an excellent time in this Tuscan villa. The ancient building is magical and the surrounding landscape beyond beautiful. Isabella is a lovely host who made sure we were comfortable all the time. Next time we will have a dinner :-) Thanks so much!

Traffic is very convenient, the door has a bus directly to Florence, near the supermarket, restaurant. The landlord is a very attentive person, prepared for us some necessities, toiletries and wine, but also gave us information about tourism. We had a very pleasant week. If we come to Tuscany again, we will live here again

Samuele's place is a clean, modern, fully-functioning ground-floor flat, very conveniently located between Prato, Pistoia and Florence (with a direct bus to Pistoia or Florence in front of the house). It has a private parking place. A supermarket is just across the road. Samuele was really friendly, perfectly reliable and helpful, and all our communication was prompt and effective.
